“PUBG,” short for “PlayerUnknown’s Battlegrounds,” is a popular online multiplayer battle royale game developed and published by PUBG Corporation, a subsidiary of Bluehole Studio. Released in 2017, PUBG was one of the pioneers in the battle royale genre, where up to 100 players are dropped onto an island and must fight to be the last person or team standing.
Key features of PUBG include:

- Realistic Gameplay: PUBG is known for its realistic graphics and physics, providing an immersive experience. The game includes a wide variety of weapons, vehicles, and equipment that mimic real-world counterparts.
- Solo, Duo, and Squad Play: Players can choose to play solo, with a partner in duo mode, or in a team of up to four players in squad mode. Teamwork and strategy are crucial in duo and squad modes.
- Multiple Maps: PUBG features several maps, each with unique terrains and environments, from dense forests and urban areas to deserts and snowy landscapes. This variety keeps the gameplay fresh and challenging.
- Customization: Players can customize their characters with various outfits and accessories, some of which can be unlocked through gameplay or purchased.
